We had another farewell lunch today, for Shuyi, one of the devs on my team, who got another job elsewhere in the company. This one was a little farther away than Azteca (it was down at Crossroads) so we carpooled.
I ended up in Andrew's car, which is a 'convertible' in the sense that there are plastic windows you can hang from the rollbars. It's nice and warm and sunny, today, so those weren't up -- so since Shuyi got shotgun, the rest of us got to climb into the car Dukes of Hazzard style.
Climbing in was easy enough, but I had a little trouble getting back out without hurting myself, and everyone had to wait a few seconds while I squirmed around until I could get both feet out the window at the same time. The second time they all stood there watching me and giving pointers. o.o;
The ride itself was... long -- construction had 156th half-closed and down to one lane in each direction just north of Crossroads, and that's a busy stretch under the best of circumstances. And I have to drive it again after work to pick up Shadarack... eep.
As for the food, it was pretty good italian -- really expensive, though. Andrew picked up the tab, but I think I would have owed like $20.
On the way back, Andrew remarked on how lovely the weather is, and said "It's strange that all of us are wearing pants." There was silence for a few seconds before we figured out he meant 'instead of shorts'.
